When treason reared its coxious form Grim, threatening defeat forlorn, Virginia's laureled hero wept As o'er his soul the torrent swept. Unmoved by war t s rude din he stands Like the iron hills of his native land; As the granite beach to the wove's dread chock, His lion heart war's terrors mock. • But stung by the traitor's deep device His noble soul in anguish lies, The opened avenues of despair Pour forth a Hood of bitter tears. Oh, who can fathom the depth of grief That stirred the heart of the mighty chief, As, bending 'neath the intruder's power, Ito bore the gloom of that dark hour ? That blackening crime even Heaven's bright glow Grew dim, obscured by its shade of woe, Whilst justice, pure in holy wrath, Greeted the 'realms of eternal death. Well may Columbia's fearless son, Who wreaths of martial fame had won, When smitten by the trlitorous scheme, Sink 'neath the hope-destroying flame. But bursting from the spell which bound His noble heart in grief profound. Ile quick resumes his wonted mom, Soothed by a Heavenly unseen balm. A Romano of the Moot. A group of ragged girls were playing on the side walk of Baxter street, half blocking the way with their boisterous antics. Dr. Henry Colton, a young physician attached to a charitable institution in the neighborhood, found it almost im possible to push his way through the crowd of hoydens. Uncouth faces and rough wordsgreeted him, as with no very gentle hands he made for himself a passage through their midst. One of the girls, bolder even than her noisy compan ions, caught at his coat and pulled him half round. He looked at the girl, whose temerity excited his sur prise. She was about twelve or thirteen years old, and as ragged and dirty as auy of the lot; yet her beauty shone through the dirt and rags. Her cheeks were round and dimpled, her lips full anti red, her eyes and hair black as midnight, and her form apparently wonderfully perfect. Dr. Colton•passed on a few steps, but the girl's beauty ex cited his interest, and he called her. At first she was disposed to run away, but finally she went up to him, takifg care to keep just out of arm's reacih. "WhAt ia B,K,d tliMs - mii4 man. "Rosa Carden," she replied. "Where do you live?" "With Mammy Ginger, down there in the rag cellar—she's my aunt, she is." "Well, Rosa," said he, as he started to go, "you are too pretty and bright witted to live in this place and with these hard people. Wouldn't you like to go to school, and be a lady when you grow up ?" Rosa's idea of the lady, was asso, ciated with fine clothes, and so she e lied affirmatively, without the Aiktest hesitation. 1 91111Ln I'll tell you what to do, Rosa, added Henry; "wash your face, comb your hair, and--do you kuow where the Girl's Refuge is ?" "Yea, I guess so." "You go up there, ring the bell, and ask for Mrs. Brown. Tell her that you want to livethere and learn to be a lady ;" and he went on about his business, leaving the girl with her noisy companions, But Rosa had no relish for romp ing. What the youngman hadzai,d to her kept running in het head, and she soon went to her squalid home thinking it over and over. Rosa received little but bad usage and short rations from "Mammy Ginger," who only kept the girl for the work she could squeeze out of her. Her present life was so Miser able that no change could well have been made for the worse, and so she was inclined to follow the stranger's advice. That night she dreamed of being a fine lady, dressed in silk, and with plenty to eat; and upon waking in the morning she no longer hesitated. After exciting ‘fMammy ger's" wondeby washing her face and combing her hair as well as she could with her fingers, Rosa slipped out and went to the Girl's Refuge, an institution for the care and edu cation of orphan and pauper girls. Ringing the bell, she inquired for Mrs. Brown, as .the stranger had told her to do, and at lost reached the presence of the matron of the institution. 4.13: ZEPARK, Prop. J. IL CLOVER, rrop. "Well, little girl," said Mrs. Brown, "what do you want ?" "I want to learn to be a lady " • The odd reply, covered witli the girl's striking beauty, won the at tention of the matron, and Rosa soon found herself a regular inmate of the institution. * • * Eight years rolled by, bringing Dr. henry Colton to the age of thirty. Eight eventful years to the country and to him, for they com prised tAc bloody years of the great rebellion. At the first breaking out of the hostilities he entered the army as an assistant surgeon, and served throughout the entire strug gle, At its close, like thousands upon thousands of others, he found himself completely unsettled in habits and disposition. With afew hundred dollars saved from his pay, he returned to New York, to find that his friends had been scattered. Nobody knew him, and he had not a relative in the world. "But I have aprofession," he said to himself, "perfected by years of practical army experience ; I will establish myself, and prosperity will bring friends around me Again." __ .. ..4' #,DrE-Zeiltr. Naturally biloyant and hopeful he prepared to recommence life, with good spirits' and bright anticipations for the future. He hired a respect able but modest office on a semi fashionable uptown street, furnished it plainly, and displayed a sign de noting his calling. Days passed and no patronage - came. He saw his dollars going out, with none coming in. "I must economize," he conclu ded; "I will give up my boarding place to begin with." After this the lounge in his office was his bed, and the 'cheap restau rant got his patronage. Still these measures only checked the drain upon his store. The fewprofessional calls that he had were mainly from those too poor or too dishonest to pay, and his income did not one , half meet his closely curtailed ex penses. He grew down-hearted and discouraged. Month after month passed, and at last his money was alrgone. :What should he do ? The idea of giving up his profession was distasteful, and he clung to hope until actual want came in the shape of unappeased hunger. Then one by one he pawned his fine surgical instruments ; getting but a small fraction of their real value. Articles of ctothiag followed until he found himself utterly unprovided to meet the cold weather that was coming on. Finally, convinced that he must abandon his profession, he studied the "want" columns of the newspa pers, andopent two entire days in trying in vain to get employment. The last of these two days he ate nothing, and previous short allow ance had enfeebled him, When night came he staggered wearily to his office to find that, after repeated warnings, the landlord had taken possession and locked the door. With his brain whirling and his limbs tottering with weakness, Dr. Colton wandered he scarcely knew where. Hunger and fatigue were doing their work. He had walked several blocks wben his eyes fell upon a carriage standing ntthe curb. A coachman in livery sat upon the box, and the door stood open. Just then a lady came out of an adjacent house, and walked toward the ve hick. The famished man saw that she carried a pocket book in her hand. The demon of hunger sug gested robbery as his eyes feasted upon the well-filled treasure. He darted forward so quickly as to at ..t.r.a.m.4~4attentnyn-truct-itn. ail hi she looked fixedly in his face. A strange expression passed over her features, but it seemed-scarcely that of fear. She hesitated a moment, and then laid the tips of her fingers upon his arm. "I've been waiting for you," she said; "get into the carriage, please." Wondering at the meaning of her words, and scarcely knowing or caring what he did, Dr. Colton did as he was requested, "Drive home," said the lady to the driver, and. away they were borne up a fashionable.avenne. "She has mistaken me for some body else," he thought, "and I must undeceive her." Then he said aloud : "You have doubtless made some mistake—at least, I have forgotten you, if I have ever had the honor of an acquaintance." _ _ _ "No sir," was the reply, "I - have made no mistake, but the explana tion is too long to be made here. Will- you not wait tin I reach my home r Dr. Colton assented, wondering if the wijole adventure was not a crea tion of his fervered brain. They arrived, atter a 'short drive, at a brown stone mansion of consid erable size and beauty. The ear. ria,ge stopped, and the lady led the way up the stairs and into the hall. Here the weakened strength of the doctor gave way, and he sank into a chair half faibting. "Why, what is the matter ?" asked the lady, in great concern. "Are you ill ?" "Only starving," was the bitter confession. "I have eaten nothing for two days." The lady hastily summoned the servants and had him assisted to an easy chair. Tempting viands and generous wine were placed before him, of which he partook with good effect, feeling stronger and better immediately after the meal. The lady had absented herself du ring his repast, but now she return ed, divested of her street dress, and wearing a rich robe. For the first time Dr, Colton studied her face—a face, he thought, the most perfect in its loveliness that he had ever seen, "Are you prepared for an expla nation of my rat:ler.straw con duct ?" she said. Dr. Colton bowed. "Do you not remember me ?" she asked. He looked at her face again, but could not recall it. "Do .you remember," she contin ued, in Raster street, years ago, of talking with a ditty, ragged little girl—of telling her that she was too pretty to live there, and of sending her to the Girl's Refuge ?" Yes, alter thinking a moment, he remembered the circumstance. "I am the same girl," and she smiled merrily at Colton's look of amazement. "I went to the Refuge, as you told me to do, and was kind ly received. I proved an apt scholar, and at the age of seventeen was able to get a situation as teacher in one of the 'public schools, I had thus been employed but a few months, when a wealthy retired merchant, named Arthur Ralston, formed my acquaintance, and asked me to marry him. I had no friends, and his honorable conduct won my es teem, I married him, only to be- , HUNTINGDON; PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1874 come, within a year, a widow with a fortune.

And I fear," she added kindly, "that my assistance was badly needed." "Indeed it was," and•Colton nar rated his career. Dr. Colton sl.ept soundly that night under the roof of Rosa Ralston. The next day he returned to his of fice—his protege, as she celled her self, insisted upon furnishing him with money to pay his rent and ,re deem his pawned, instruments and clothing. And her bounty was so skillfuly bestowed that it did not seem like charity, "only interest on an old debt," as she expressed it. They were married on Rosa's twentieth birthday, and now Dr Colton, happy in thel:possession of a lovely and loving wife, a fortune and a large practice, can complacently contemplate his darker days of star vation and despair. giontling for th pillion. Two Distinguished Men Gone---Death of Professor rtgassiz. The death of Prof. Agassiz occurred on the 14th ult., at a quarter past ten o'clock. Louis 'Jo* Rudolph Ag assiz was born May 28, 1807, at Mottier, near the Lakes of Neufchatel, Switzerland, where his fath er was pastor. His mother (nee Mlle. Rose Mayor) was a woman of large intelli gence and uncommon talent; and under her care his earlier education was conduct t.d. At the age of eleven he was sent to the gymnasium at Brienne, where he stud ied ancient and modern languages, and where the bent of his mind towards zo ology was shown by his spending his vaca tions in collecting fishes and insects. Iu 1824 he went to Zurich and studied at a medical school for two years. From thence he went to Heidelberg, and subsequently to the University of Munich. Here ho formed the acquaintance of Dollinger, the physiologist; Schilling, the philosopher; Martens, the botanist ; and Oken, the zoologist; and here his passion for the study of nature took definite shape. From hence dates the vast labors which he devoted to the study of fossil and ver tebrate. He considered the existence of a superior intelligence was established by rigid demonstration on a scientific foun dation. Yet his theory sounds strangely like an evolutionary one. This theory was that 'an invisible thread, in all ages, runs through this immense diversity, ex hibiting as a general result the fact that them is a continuous progress iti develop ment ending in man; the four classes of vertebrates presenting the intermediate steps and the invertebrates the constant Acceasory aceompaninient" possible hero to describe the hundredth part of his labors. In Paris he became the intimate friend of envier. On the death of that distinguished man in 1832, Agas, siz returned to Neufchatel and was appoint ed Professor of Natural History there.— He came to America in 1846, and, after lecturing in various parts of the country, took charge of the Cambridge Scientific School. Of his labors in connection with this institution, and with the investigations of the zoology and paleontology of Ameri ca, it is scarcely necessary to speak. They are of the highest importance and value, and will render his natal perfectly illus trious in the annals of science. It is to be regretted that he did not live to finish his autobiography, upon which he was en gaged. One of the labors lie had in view was a series of articles against what is known as Darwinism, Samuel Nelson, ex-Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, died on Saturday, of apoplexy, athis home in Cooperstown, N. Y. He was born November 10, 1792, at Hebron, Washing ton County, in this State, whither his father had emigrated in a. dompany of set tlers from the North of Ireland, a century ago. He studied for some years under the celebrated Salem Towne, and having entered Middlebury College, Vermont, at nineteen years of age. be graduated two years later, in 1813. He studied law and was admitted to the Bar in 1817. His first appearance in polities was as Presi.:' dential elector in 1820, the vote of the State being given to James Monroe and Daniel D. Tompkins. Atter filling var ious minor offices he was on the Ist of February, 1831, appointed Associate Jus tice of the Supremo Court .eS New York. After six years' service in th is position he was promoted by Governor Marcy to the Chief Justiceship. In 1844 President • Tyler appointed him an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court oftbe United States, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Smith Thompson. In the famousDred Scott decision he concurred with Chief Justice Taney, on the ground that if Con, gress possessed power under the Constitu tion to abolish slavery, "itmust necessarily possess the like rower to establish it."— Although Judge Nelson's position was somewhat averse to that of the war party, he held cordial relations with the Admin istration. In 1871 he was appointed by President Grant a member of the Joint high Complispion to arbitratp the Ala bama claims on the part of the United States. In October last he was compelled to resign his seat in the Supreme Court on account of chronic ill-health.—Dadll Graphic. Made to "See It." "I can't see it," said Buffer. "Nobody read these little advertisements. Its pre posterous to think it." i'But " said the 'editor, "you read what interests your "And if there's anything that you par• titularly want you look fur it ?" "Certainly. . _ among tie thousands upon thous ands who help to make up this busy world of ours everything that is printed is read. Sneer as you please, I do assure you that printer's ink is the true open sesame to all the business success." • .And still Buffer couldn't see it. He didn't believe that one-half of those little crowded advertisements were ever read. "Suppose you try the experiment," said the editor. "Just slip in an advertisement of the want of one of the most common things in the world. For the sake of the test I will give it two insertions free. Two will be enough; and you may have it-jam wed in any out of the way nook of my pa per you shall select. Two insertions, of only two lines. Will you try it ?" Buffer said of course he would try it. And be selectdd the place where he would have it published—crowded in under the head "Watils." And he waited and saw a proof of his adVertisenient, which ap .,eared as follows: "Wanted—A rood house clog. Apply to J. Buffer, 575 Townsand street, between the hours of 6 and 9 p. m." Buffer went away milk.. ' and nodding. On the following morning he opened his paper, and after a deal of hunting be found his advertisement. At first it did not seem at all conspicuous. Certainly so in significant a paragraph, buried in such a wilderness of paragraphs, could not attract notice. After a time, however, it began to look utere_noticeable to him. The mote he looked at it the plainer it grew. Final. ly it gland at him troth the closely printed page. But that was because he was the person particularly interested. Of course it would appear conspicuous to him. But it could not be so to others. That evening Mr. Buffer was sitting down to tea (Buffer was a plain old fash ioned man, and took tea at six) when his door bell rung. The servant announced a man at the door -.•ith a dog to sell. "Tell him I don't want one." Six times Buffer was interrupted while taking tea by men with dogs to sell. Buf fer was a man who would not lie. He had put his foot in, and he must take it out manfully. The twentythird applicant was a small boy with a girl in company, who had a ragged, dirty poodle for sale. Butt fer bought the poodle of the boy and im mediately presented it to the girl, and then sent them off. To the next applicant he was able truth fully to answer : "Don't want any more. I've bought one." • The stream of callers continued until nearly ten o'clock, at which hour Buffer_ locked up and turned off the gas. On the following evening, as Buffer ap proached his house, he found a crowd as sembled. He counted thirty-nine men and boys, each one of whom had a dog in tow. There Vero dogs of every grade. size and color, and growl, and howl. Buffer addressed the motly multitude, and inform ed them that he had purchased a dog. "Then what dyer advertise for And Buffer got his hat knocked over his eyes before he reached the scanctuary of his house. Never mind about - the trials and tribu lations of that night. Buffer bad no idea that therd were so many dogs in existence. With the aid of three policemen he got through a'ive. On the next morning he visited his friend the editor and acknowl edged the corn. The advertisement of "wanted" was then taken out,. and in the most conspicuous place, and in glaring type, he advertised that he didn't want any more dogs. And for this advertise ment he paid. Then-he went home and posted upon his door—" Gone into the country." Then he hired a special police. man to guard his property, apd thsen he locked up and went away with his family. From that day Josephus Buffer has never been heard 'to express doubts eon :e efficacy of printer's ink; neith . i rrne asked : ;41:o reads advertise ments?"—Nero York Ledger.

How He Got Him on de Wool "Look a hea, nigger, whar you swellin' to?" was the unceremonious salutation of a mddle colored gentleman to an exeruci atingly dressed darkey, whose complexion was not many shades removed from that of a recently-polished stove-pipe, as the latter pusson" made a graceful swing from the promenade on Fourth street—where he had been exhibiting himself a couple of hours, to the envy of the "bucks," and the fascination of . a score of 'nuss gals" --into M'Allister street.

Pests of Society Time is said to be money, but we doubt if ninny may believe it; few, at, least seem to be aware of the value of the article, considering the manner in which it is thrown away, or the manner in which it is stolen from friends, neighbors, acq-aint anees. Time•stealers arc the very_ pests of society. They abound in all small towns, and are pretty numerous in every city.— They are not all idlers. Possibly thdy pursue professions, and are themseive, ob jects of plunder to others; nevertheless that does not prevent them stealing your time, provided they can lay hold on it.— They are cunning and wait for opportu nities. They have ends to lerve, they are great advice.seekers, and what do they care for robbing you of half an hour if it snits their necessities or convenience? Time stealers are certainly born without a conscience. We have known them to commit - a robbery of an hour with the most consummate coolness. Nomatter how you are engaged, how busy you are, or how onerous and incessant are yonrduties, there rstheir horrid rap at the door, or their distracting ring :it the bell. They . wish to see you only for a single moment; it is an z.ffaV of some importance, to them, no doubt, and they will not detain you a minute, and so forth ; all of which is, of course, a pretence to get themselves edged into your privacy, and give you a world of botheration about nothing. nuntl Me timid*, A Prayerless Christian Houiehold, Is such a thing possible ? Can a house hold be thoroughly. religious without a family altar where the incense of devotion ascends morning and evening to the Giver of all good ?• If the flame burns low, or goes out entirely, is there no reason to fear that down deep in the heart the warfare with sin has ceased to be waged. Such a family I knew. The names of the father, soother, and some of the chil dren, were on tiro Church register. I can remember them all, far back, as the most exemplary of Christians. The fath er is a lawyer, and a more honorable and upright career than his has been,-is rarely seen. Prosperous in business; with many friends and political honors, lie bad grad ually, and almost inperceptibly, fallen into thezlays of the world, and neglected re ligious duties. So gradual had been the change that he would have been awe struck if he could have contrasted his feelings of to-day with those of twenty three years ago. The mother I knw in her childhood.—' She was apparently the most devoted Christian I ever knew. Her zeal for the good of others was unbounded, and she started in the Christian life with the no ble ambition of accomplishing great things in the Master's service. But con tact with the world had chilled her ar dor, and she had forgot those youthful aspirations. I had not seen her for years, when .I happened to be in the town where she lived, and was invited to her house. She had a beautiful home. All that wealth could bestow was hers. But I fear that in her prosperity she had forgot ten the most important of ail things. My lot in life has been far (Efferent. As the wife of a country minister, on a small salary, I had few of the luxuries of life. But the self-denial and discipline of life had enabled me, in some measure, to keep bright the Christian armor; and I felt., as I sat a guest in her beautiful home, that I would not exchange my assurance of heaven for all the wealth in the world. • 0 my heart was burdened ivith pray er for those dear ones! I could not sleep. Over and over again I kept say ing, "Restore unto them, 0 Lord, the joy of Thy salvation." It was not un til I had been there several days that the mother ventured to speak of the old time experiences. Then she told me how she struggled and failed to keep her mind from worldly dross, She begged me, with tears in her eyes, to pray for them all, that they might return to the Lord. How my heart rejoiced to hear the penitent prayer that followed. So earnest was she that it was not long before she was rejoicing in the smiles of a new found love. Then her heart went out after her hdsband. Our united petitions ascended to heaven for him, and God heard the prayers of his children. The florally altar was rebuilt, church duties resumed, and the wandering heart awoke to the consciousness that 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. Is There any "Higher Life ?" No, if by "Higher Life" you mean sown new phase of life "higher" than that of Christ and his apostles. Yes, if you re fer to the decent,. respectable, quiet religion of the day. The Higher Life is not the modern invention of SOW hot-headed fa natic. What we want is the good .old style wfieli began with the ministry of Jesus. This kind—may God help us—we intend to advocate. . On the Grand Prairie, in Central Ilk ois, we have watched at night the beat light of the oncoming train more th; once. For hundreds of miles the eonnti is one dead level. it you should tell child born on this prairie about the snow; peaks of California he would think yo; were dreaming. He has no appreciatioi of what he has never experienced. Thy loftiest hills he ever sairwere those plow( up by the oxen . in his father's cornfield.— Tbe idea of mountains thousands of feel high, to him, is simply abaurd. So, to a large extent, the Church Christ is content upon a plan no high than the Illinois prairies. Like the fai leer's boy, they know nothing and cm nothing about the high lands. Let those who doubt this read the history of rb Church in the first cfntuty. A little ban, of fishermen and mechanics, their Leader as the world thought, dead, carried h. faith in a few years to the utmost bound of civilization. Heathen R9lllO was cap tured for Christ, and became the centre o Christendom-. By and by came a great falling away; then the blackness of the dark ages. But night was not to last for— ever; the morning dawned of the great Reformation, God raised up men ofapos tolic seal and fervor, and the Church was to a great extent reformed from its errors. But the reformation touched more thr head than the heart; men were left orthc clex and lifeless. The whole Church o) o , day is not as strowas a few Galileo. iiihermen, There is net oae man in liiundred who bi life time sires the soul o: ibis brother. What is wanted is - Second Role tion.

On one occasion Mr. Whitefield Was preaching in Boston on the wonders of creation, providence, and redemption, when a violent tempest_of thunder and lightning came on. In the radstuf •the sermon it attained to so alarming a heigkt that the congregation sat in almost breatt(e.. awe k --- Mkt preacher eloead his note-bouk, stepping into one of the wings of the desk, • - fell on his knees, and; with much- fling and fine taste, repeated-- "Hark ! the eterusPronds the sky I A mighty voice before Him goes— A voice of music to His friends, But threatening thunder to Ills foes. Come, children, to your Father's arms ; Hide in the chambers of my grace. Till the fierce storm be overblown, And my revenging fury cense. "Let us devoutl7 sing, to the praise and glory of God, this hymn—'Old Elundred.' . The whole congregation instantly rose and poured forth the sacred song, in which they were nobly accotspanied by theprgac, in a style of pious grandeur and heartfelt devotion that was probably never surpass ed. By the time the hymn was finished the storm was hushed, and the sun bursting forth, showed through the windows to the enraptured assembly a magnificent and brilliant arch of peace. The preacher resumed the desk and his discourse with this opposite quotition : " Look - upon the raintoow • praise Him that made it. Very beauti ful it is in'tbe brightness thereof ! It compasseth the ' heaven' about with a glorious circle, and 40.. the hands ofthe Most High have blended it, The benediction with which the good man dismissed the flock was universally received with streaming eyes and hearts 7. 1 . overflowing with tenderness and gratitude.
